MoseySusan Posted October 20, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 20, 2021 Let’s say you have a kitchen sink faucet that toggles between stream and spray. The default setting of every other faucet is stream. So, why set the toggle to spray? I don’t remember anyone previously using the free-hand sprayer to say wash your hands, fill the sink, add water to a pan for Ramen noodles. But now we’re supposed to just use the faucet on spray all.the.time. And then wipe up water when it splashes all.over.the.kitchen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Further Posted October 20, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2021 Are you saying the default setting is spray and you have to switch it to stream every time you use it ? That is just stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted October 20, 2021 Share #3 Posted October 20, 2021 Mine has a button, not necessarily a default as it could be set either way but it’s normally on stream, not spray. Sometimes it will be on spray, not sure how or why??? And yeah I’ll get all wet as will the counter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Airehead Posted October 20, 2021 Solution Share #4 Posted October 20, 2021 The default should be stream and I pity the fool who changes mine. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted October 20, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 20, 2021 Our Pfister has a button that has to be held for spray. That annoyed me at first but I guess it is a good design. Our previous, a Delta I think, had a maintained button. I am quite pleased with this Pfister because I tried one for the bathroom before that was junk. I never would have bought another one but my wife did. Actually now I have had bad luck with deltas dripping prematurely so I won’t buy any more of those.

Longjohn ★ Posted October 21, 2021 Share #15 Posted October 21, 2021 You people must have a lot of water pressure. Mine is on spray all the time and it sprays into the sink not all over the counter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted October 21, 2021 Share #17 Posted October 21, 2021 This seems to be a good example of a first world problem. I've fallen behind I guess because my faucets are just ordinary faucets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am getting attached to our “hold to spray” type. I guess a lot of acceptance or preference is just what you are used to and if you’ve made peace with it. The problem is if you have high water pressure you would have to get in the habit of turning the water on slowly in case it was left on spray, and a good design would not make you do that. Even if there is a good indicator offline, you should not be required to check that before turning on. So to always default to stream is a good design, as is hold to spray, but I don’t think a maintained button that holds last setting is a good design. The only real problem with hold to spray is you can’t leave it unattended on spray, or use both hands for something else while on spray, but I have quickly adapted to always having to hold it.

The burden of evidence is on the affirmative, though, so I’m used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
